CNN Three years after the attorney turned television personality Nancy Grace helped Headline News reinvent its prime time line up the verdict is in viewers prefer views to news at least at night. Thursday marks the three year anniversary of the re creation of CNN s sister network from an around the clock news wheel of headlines to a provocative prime time centered around personalities like Ms. Grace and the conservative radio talk show host Glenn Beck. Compared to the year before the revamped schedule debuted the ratings for CNN s sister network are up percent between p.m. and midnight from total viewers in to between and .

Mr. Beck who began hosting the p.m. hour in May is an unfiltered and occasionally incendiary commentator and comedian. The idea is that you offer viewers alternatives Mr. Jautz said. By offering more types of programming across our two networks we have a chance to attract more viewers to the group. According to CNN Ms. Grace was the fastest growing show on cable news in and Mr. Beck earned the same status! in . The third part of the revised Headline News strategy the entertainment hour Showbiz Tonight was the fastest growing show of according to the network. Headline News was starting from a relatively low base of course. In a year where political news is eclipsing all other subjects it remains to be seen whether Headline News can hold onto the gains. The network is likely to introduce another prime time program to complement Mr. Beck and Ms. Grace s hours after all the two shows are currently repeated at and p.m. respectively. Mr. Jautz would not say whether any changes are being considered. We are always looking to improve the network he said.
